Siddi Sadat

Siddi Sadat refers to a community of descendants from Arab or Persian ancestors who settled in parts of South Asia, particularly India and Pakistan. The term "Sadat" signifies their lineage from Prophet Muhammad’s family, while "Siddi" often indicates African origins, especially from the Swahili coast and East Africa. Many Siddi Sadat have integrated into local cultures, maintaining their religious and social traditions. They are recognized for their unique heritage, which blends Arab, African, and South Asian influences, and often hold respected positions within their communities due to their noble lineage and cultural contributions.
